. citizen of the United States, residing at specification.

Independence, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented anew and useful Glove, of which the following is a The present invention appertains to gloves, and aims to provide a gloveof novel or unique Construction, the present invention being" particularly an improvement'over the in connection with a lining or facing for the index finger, 1n a pecul ar manner, the, body blank having a thumb lap or facing gloves and mittens disclosed informer Patent No. 1,072,560, issued September 9,1913, and in my co-pending applications, 'Serial 15 1912, and August 20, 1912, respectively. j

'It is. the obj ect of the present inventionto provide a glove of novel construction, as

No. 677 ,9 11 and 716,085, filed February 16,

over prevailing gloves, whereby the improved glove will have a minimum amount of stitching, and mor'der that the seams will be less exposed to wear than heretofore.

A specific object of the present invention is to provide; abody blank of the nature in dicated, in connection with a thumb pocket formed of a blank, and stitched to the body which is stitched to the interior of the thumb pocket blankwhereby the quirk will combination and arrangement of parts and departing from the spirit of theinvention. 1

The inventionhas been illustrated inlits. preferred embodiment in the accompanying.

Fig. 9 is a section detail taken throughthe quirk. I p

The blanks'from which the present glove are constructed are preferably "cut from Jersey jcloth,'cotton, flannel or other suitj'able material.

Theprese'iit glove: embodies a main or body blank 1, comprising the symmetrical symmetrical at the opposite sides of the meline EB-of the blank 1., The side or palm sections 2 are provided with integral index, third and fourth finger pocket sections 4,

Sand 6, respectively, the fingerpocket sections i belng attached at the median line of the blank, and the respective finger sections 4, 5 and Gbeing separated by slits or cuts extending tothe palm sections proper. The ad acent 'shtsbetween the finger sections 4 and5 extend beyond the butt or basal portions ofthe finger sections, as at 7, or extend into the palm sectionsproper, the said I jfinger'sectionsbeing providedwith the V- 1 g :ed:,notches 8 at their buttportions adjo ning the sl ts between the said finger sections. The said notchesSserve to distinguish themain portions of the slits between the finger sections 4e and 5, and the extended portionsjof the slits, the extended portions of the slits being employed'for the attachment of the second finger pocket sections as willlhereinafterjappear. v

Thezblank 1 is provided at itslower end adjoining" its wrist portion with an ovateacuminate slit" or out 9, which forms a thumb opening or seat and a thumb lap 10 [of ovate acuminate contour. The blank is also provided witha short slit or cut 11 extending from the intermediate portionof theslit 9, or from the-tip of the thumb lap l0'1to the respective end of th ejblank 1, to divid or separate'the lower ends of the wrist portions vof the side or palm sections of the blank. I

The 0 thumb pocket blank embodies the two sections 13, which are ap'proximately of side or palmseetions 2, said sections 2 being Thelining or facing for the indexfinger. pocket comprises a blank 15, which is pro-.

ovate-acuminate contour which are integral and disposed at an obtuse angle with respect to one another. g I j The second or independent finger pocket is constructed of two sections 14, in a main her which will be described hereinafter.

vide'd at its lower end with a crotch l6'.

1 mote edges of the palm sections 2 and finger pocket sections 6, are curved outwardly, as.

at 6 for the purp'osewhich will hereinafter appear.

' ofstitches 17, the inner edges of the crotch side edges of the lining blank-15 are sewed to the inner sides. of the palm sectionsv 2 and the index finger sections 4, by the lines 16 being disposed flush with the'edges of the thumb opening of the blankl. The edges 13 of. the sections 13 of the thumb pocket blank are then stitched to the edges of the thumb opening, together with the inner edges of the crotch 16 of the index finger lining or facing 15,, by a line ofstitches 18,

' the blanks 12 and 15 beingdisposedupon opposite sides of the blank' 1.- The thumb or facing 10 projects from between the lap blanks 15 and 12, when the said blanks are secured or stitched to theblank 1, and the thumb lap or facing 10 and the blank 12 are then brought together, so that the edges of the thumb lap or facing 10 may be sewed to the inner sides of the sections 13 by a line of stitches 19.

To attach the finger sections 14, the finger sections 4 and 5 of the blankl are spread or swung apart as illustrated in Fig. 7 whereby the inner ends of the slits between the finger sections 4 and 5 will be opened. The,

1 are spread or swung apart, the inner ends or extended portions of the slits between the said sections will be opened, whereby the edges defined by the said portions of the slits .1

will approximately aline, so that when the independent finger sections 14 are stitched to the said edges defined by the extended portions of the slits, and when the finger sections 14 ar stitched together, the finger sections 4 and 5 will be crowded apart and.

will be'disposed angularly with respect to one another as seen in Fig. 8,v instead of parallel. Then, the fingers of the hand will be readily accommodated by the finger pockets,

it being observed that the material fronr which the "glove or. mitten is formed, is sufficiently elastic or flexible to permit the finger In assembling the parts of the glovepthe sections 14 to be applied, as stated. The finger sections 14 thus being interposed between the finger sections 4 and 5 of the blank 1 are swung outwardly and the glove or mitten is completed by stitching the respective edges of the palm section thumb and finger. sections together, as is well under- StQOCllIl the art. The curved portions or e flaps 6 may be stitched together along va- The" side edges of the blank 1, or the-rerious lines in order to adjust the width of the glove. Thus, after the portions 6 have been stitched together, the user, .if he so desires, may rip the portions 6 apart, in order that they may be re-stitched in such a manner' as to properly fit the wearers hand. Th glove being thus completed will carry out the objects aimed at in a highly efficient and desirable manner, it being observed that the second finger being interposed inthe manner. described will cause the finger pockets to be spread sufficiently apart to comfortably accommodate the-fingers. I In. this manner, the usual fiatcondition of the glove or mitten is avoided, this flat condition of the glove or mitten being usually present in reversible gloves or mittens. Attention is also directed to the fact that the lining or facing of the index finger pocket and the thumb lap or facing, in forming the lining or facing of the thumb, will protect those portions of the glove, which are subject to the greatest amount of wear when the glove is employed forhandllng var ous articles.

Referring to Fig. 9, 1t Wlll be noted that the blanks 1, 12and 15 and the thumblap or facing 10 of the blank 1 being stitched together in the peculiar manner described will provide a'quirk seam of four-ply thickness, it being noted that the edge of the blank 12 which is stitched to the blank 1 is turned under,while the edge of the crotch 16 is turned under the thumb pocketblank 12, together with the thumb lap or facing 10 so as-to provide a protected andreinforced seam.

It is to be noted that the edges of the finger pocket sections being stitched togcther, will locate the seams between the finger pockets, in order that the seams will beprotected from wear, or will be as little exposed as is possible. It is also evident, that as illustrated in Fig. 7, the independent finger pocket sections 14 may be stitched to the body blank in a convenient manner, by separating the finger pocket sections 4- and 5, the stitch lines 20 being practically straight, due to the opening up of the inner portions of the slits between the sections 4 and 5.

The glovemay be provided with an elastic gauntlet band or wrist 21, although the wrist is well known in the art and may be eliminated if desired.

In the construction of the glove, it must be observed that after. several blanks have been sewed together, the blank 1 is then finger sections into coincidence.

doubled Or folded upon the median line 3 to bring the side or palm sections 4 and the The said glove being of the reversible type, may be worn on either the right or left hand.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed as new is A glove or mitten comprisin a body having a thumb opening and a tliumb lap, an index finger lining stitched to the body and having its lower end disposed flush with the edges of the thumb opening, and a thumb pocket blank havin certainof its edges disposed flush with the thumb opening, said edges of the thumb pocket blank and the lower end of the said lining being stitched to the body with the thumb lap projecting from between the said lining and the thumb pocket blank, and the thumb lap having its edges stitched to the thumb pocket blank, the said edges of the thumb; pocket blank being turned under adjacent thequirk.

' In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiix'ed my signature in the presence of two witnesses. v
